NBA Rumors: Detroit Pistons Aren’t Expected to Target Brandon Ingram
Throughout the first half of the 2024-2025 NBA season, the Detroit Pistons have looked much more improved. They are currently on their best run of the Cade Cunningham era.
While the Pistons are in the NBA Playoff picture, they could clearly use some upgrades to give them a better shot at cracking a position in postseason play.
In recent years, the Pistons entered the NBA trade deadline playing the role of a seller. They would be a team that’s willing to take on half-season rentals to get compensated with future picks, helping them with their rebuild.
This year, the Pistons are reportedly considering a switch with their stance.
It seems there is a real chance the Pistons have more of a buyers mindset this time around. However, a recent report suggests the Pistons aren’t believed to be in the market for a big swing.
“The Pistons are considering the concept of becoming trade deadline buyers, according to league sources. Yet these appear to be more preliminary and evaluative conversations — how any methodical and pragmatic front office would look at all the avenues that the market presents,” Jake Fischer of The Stein Line writes.
”The Pistons have also left rival teams with the impression they aren’t weighing any truly massive moves, such as a swing for New Orleans’ Brandon Ingram, who would need some of Cunningham’s touches.”
When you think of the big names of the trade market this year, Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram and Heat All-Star Jimmy Butler are the names that immediately come to mind.
Both players could end up being a rental for the remainder of the season. Acquiring them without an extension in place would be a massive gamble.
The Pistons should consider buying, but they don’t have to go for another All-Star-caliber player at this time. With Cade Cunningham improving his stance as a desirable guard to work with and plenty of cap space to spend in the future, the Pistons could make a smaller move this year and look for bigger swings in the free agency market over the summer.
Detroit and the rest of the NBA have until February 6 to figure out their trade plans before the cap goes on.

High Wind Warning Today
Winds could gust up to 60mph today. Snow squalls could reduce visibility and wind chills could be as low as the teens this afternoon. Meteorologist Lori Pinson has your forecast.
(FOX 2) – With a High Wind Warning and high wind gusts expected to hit Southeast Michigan on Monday, utilities are preparing for a busy afternoon with possible outages.
DTE says it has response teams in place to deal with a loss of power to homes around the region.
DTE: Weather may cause power outages
According to DTE, approximately 6,200 homes were without power to start things out this week.
That number could rise as the wind picks up throughout the day. Gusts up to 60 mph are expected to blow through in the late morning and early afternoon.
“Our Storm Response Teams are ready to restore power as quickly and safely as possible,” read a note from DTE on their website.
The company will also be providing an update on their prepared response at 9 a.m.

Dig deeper:
If someone does come across a downed power line, they should avoid the spot.
DTE recommends staying at least 25 feet away from the downed lines, and assume they are live and dangerous. If anyone sees downed power lines, they’re asked to report it here.
If there is an emergency, such as a fire or you see a power line on an unoccupied car, first call 911 then call the power company. DTE Energy can be reached at 800-477-4747. Consumers Energy can be reached at 800-477-5050.

If you are inside your vehicle and a wire falls on it, DTE says to stay in your vehicle and call 911.
However, if you must get out of the vehicle, DTE advises removing loose clothing, and getting out without touching the frame. Jump with your feet together to avoid touching the vehicle and ground at the same time. Do not remove your feet until you are at least 20 feet away from the vehicle.
46k Outages Elsewhere
The recent blast of active weather over the weekend has already knocked out power for a big chunk of the state further to the north.
Approximately 46,000 households remain without power, according to Consumers Energy.
The bulk of those outages are north of Mount Pleasant, near Claire off of Highway 127.
See the outage map here.
According to Consumers Energy, they have 500 crews responding to the outages and hope to have power restored by 10 p.m.
High Wind Warning
Michigan will be under a high wind warning for the majority of Monday.
The National Weather Service issued the order from 4 a.m. until 9 p.m. The winds will shift from Southwest to Northwest at 25 to 35 mph. Occasional gusts between 45 and 55 mph are expected with a speeds climbing to 60 mph.
That means downed wires and tree branches are not out of the question.
Incoming snow could also worsen visibility on the road.
